Buying Tips

Always consider your strength, hitting style and league requirements when selecting your DeMarini® baseball bat. Larger players tend to benefit from heavier bats—they can take advantage of the added swinging power. Smaller and younger players need a lighter bat for increased swing speed. Think about the following factors when making your selection:

The bat drop is also known as the bat’s length to weight ratio. This figure is denoted with the bat’s “minus” number—for example, -3 or -5. The drop describes the amount of ounces the bat weighs less than its length in inches. Wood baseball bats and softball bats are not identified as with a drop.

The bat’s barrel size is simply the diameter of the bat. Generally, the longer your bat, the larger your sweet spot—the area on the bat that makes substantial contact. Many players prefer a bat with a smaller diameter. This lightens the weight to increase your swing speed.

The grip is the handle’s cover. Most covers are made of a texturized material to improve grip. Rubber grips absorb more shock, while leather or synthetic leather grips deliver a “strengthened” feel for a confident grip. Some bats are available with specialized grips to minimize vibration.
